Wat Tham Suea Krabi, a temple with an incredible viewpoint

 If talking about Krabi, I believe that many people will miss the beautiful sea, clear water and white beaches like Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay, Thale Waek, Railay Bay, Hong Island. Indeed, there are many beautiful sights besides the sea as well as many hidden land attractions waiting for tourists to experience.

Wat Tham Suea is located in Krabi Noi Subdistrict, Mueang District, Krabi Province. In addition to being a place to make merit and pay respect to monks, it is also a viewpoint for the sea of ​​mist that will make everyone stunned by the view they see.
